We went for the buffet only because we know nothing about Indian food and thought that the buffet would give a good variety instead of ordering from the menu not knowing anything about the food. The staff was very friendly and the dinning room was very nice.

Groupon Guide

It’s not uncommon to walk into a supermarket and feel overwhelmed by the amount of choices available fighting for your attention. Any type of produce desired can be found year round and can be shipped from all over the world. We’re lucky in Atlanta that we have a number of small grocers bucking that trend to offer local goods and a friendly neighborhood environment.
Typical corner stores are heavy on the processed snacks and sugary sodas but the brother and sister owners of Boxcar Grocer ( 249 Peters Street Atlanta, GA 30319 404-883-3608) felt that the area surrounding their Castleberry Hill location was ready for something more. Allison and Alphonzo Cross envisioned a store that would support local farmers, specialty food products made in Georgia and African-American owned businesses.
They’re happy to bring in local produce cultivated by purveyors including Truly Living Well and serve ready to eat healthy dinners by Tassili’s Raw Reality.
Patrons to Boxcar Grocer will find the freezers stocked with made in Atlanta gelato from Honeysuckle and ice cream from High Road Craft. They source a refreshing homegrown watermelon drink Cui as well as serve coffee roasted locally by Batdorf and Bronson on the Westside.
The Candler Park Market (1642 McLendon, Atlanta, GA 30307 (404-373-9787) is slightly larger than your typical corner store yet still is a far cry from a big box store. They pride themselves on serving craft beer that you’ll likely not find on the shelves at the supermarket and offer refillable glass growlers that are great for parties and good for the environment. You’ll often find local breweries featured including Monday Night Brewing and Athens’ Terrapin Beer Co.
Neighborhood residents enjoy finding local produce that ranges from fresh fruits and vegetables from local farms, and apple cider in the fall. Candler Park Market stocks frozen treats from the King of Pops as well as gourmet ice cream with grassfed dairy from Jeni’s.
If you’re not in the mood to cook, the market features an excellent deli at the rear of the store. It’s a serious upgrade of the typical grocery store fare with, fresh market salads, homemade soups (think smoked tomato bisque and spicy coconut corn, not chicken noodle) and burgers made with grassfed beef and gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches.
In the evenings from 7-10 through the end of the year, you’ll find Jarrett Stieber, a chef who’s worked in the area’s top kitchens, cooking up fine dining small plates in a relaxed atmosphere. Recent dishes in his Eat Me, Speak Me dinner events include fried chicken with crowder peas, waxed beans, watermelon radish and black sesame puree, and catfish with turnips, baby bok choi and pickled ginger broth.
These are just two of number of locally focused markets that I enjoy in the city. You’ll also find locally sourced fare at Savi, Star Provisions, Sawicki’s, Oakhurst Market, The Mercantine and Urban Cannibals.

Just because summer is over doesn’t mean your weekly trips to your local outdoor farmer's markets are over. Atlantans can still enjoy several trips to area farmer's markets to shop for local produce until December.
Peachtree Road Farmer's Market
Waking up on a Saturday morning isn’t easy but a trip to the Peachtree Road Farmer's Market is worth the early wake up call. This market is one of the largest farmer's markets in the state where the producers and growers sell their own products. Vendors from all over the state come to this location to sell their handmade produce and goods. Parking can be a little tricky but once you find your way you are free to venture out into the market. Market goers can enjoy bites from local establishments like H&F Bread Co. and Farm Burger while shopping for fruits, vegetables, and homemade preserves.
Grant Park Farmer's Market
After Sunday Brunch head to the Eastside of town and pick up fresh and local goods for the week from the Grant Park Farmer's Market. With over 30 vendors present each Sunday, visitors will have the chance to interact with local small businesses and farmers. The vibrant and eclectic atmosphere is filled with families and singles, young and old. While picking up fresh pasta for the nights dinner, stop by the market's cooking demo area to see a top local chef prepare a meal. Before heading home make sure to cool down from the heat with a popsicle from King of Pops. After picking up your produce and good for the week take a stroll around Grant Park.
Marietta Farmer's Market
If you live OTP (Outside the Perimeter) head to the Historic Marietta Square on Saturdays and Sundays to experience their outdoor farmer's market. The great thing about the Marietta market is that it's open all year round. On Saturdays they have up to 60 vendors showcasing their homemade soaps, jams, honey, breads, fresh fruits and vegetables. Visitors can also enjoy homemade hand pies, desserts and fresh lemonade while buying items from the market.
Decatur Farmer's Market
On Wednesdays and Saturdays head to the Decatur neighborhood to experience their local farmer's market. Located just south of Decatur square, this small market has grown a lot over the past years and has some great local and organic vendors. Visitors to this market can pick up fresh ground coffee, homemade salsa from Zocalo Salsas, pasture raised eggs, homemade cheese from Capra Gia Goat Cheese Co. and yogurt from Atlanta Fresh Yogurt.
Piedmont Park Green Market
Before you start your Saturday picnic in Piedmont Park head to the Piedmont Park Green Market hosted by the Piedmont Park Conservatory until December from 9 a.m.- 1 p.m. This is one of the oldest outdoor farmer's markets in Atlanta: they celebrated their 10th anniversary this year. While visiting the market you can enjoy the sweet sounds of live music from local performers. Visitors can purchase fresh herbs, vegetables, breads, homemade tomato sauces and more. The market also has cooking classes and activities for kids.
